3.28 Ct. Cabochon Jelly Opal from Ethiopia

As a dedicated gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I am proud to present a truly exceptional Jelly Opal that embodies both rarity and refined beauty, an opportunity for discerning collectors who seek something genuinely singular. This translucent multi color opal weighs 3.28 carat, and is fashioned into a graceful pear shape with dimensions of 12.94 by 9.05 by 6.07 mm. The cabochon cut enhances its luminous depth, revealing intense play of color that moves from warm amber and fiery orange to flashes of neon green, all with an eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level. The polish is excellent, the surface flawless to a careful gaze, and this stone has received no enhancement, originating naturally in Ethiopia. As a Jelly Opal, its delicate, almost gel like body color allows the spectral blues and greens to float like gems within a lit vessel, creating a living light that changes with every tilt. Few stones combine this dimension, weight, and saturation in such a harmonious way, and its transparency combined with strong color intensity places it in a league apart from common opal offerings.

What makes this piece particularly rare is the combination of size and vivid coloration in a single, untreated specimen. Larger Jelly Opals with preserved translucency and concentrated color patches are uncommon, and multi color examples with such clarity and depth are even more elusive. For the collector who wishes to wear or set a statement gem, this opal delivers unmistakable presence without compromise, ideal for a bespoke ring or pendant where its pear shape and cabochon surface will catch light and attention continuously. Ownership confers entry into an elite circle of patrons who appreciate provenance and purity, a rarity in today’s market where treatments are commonplace. If you value distinctiveness, natural origin, and superb craftsmanship in rough to finished transition, this opal is a rare chance to secure a jewel that will not be easily replicated.
